RUGBY: Lions supporters thread !

[BeVonk!]

Stormers fan here:
It was the Stormers own fault, we had plenty of chances.

A draw last week when we shoulda won.
The previous week, we were 20-0 up after 20 min, but didn't go for the bonus point.
Lots of fumbling, knockons, and poor decision making against the Lions.

So no blaming the Lions...

Well said alf101.

I see in a newspaper article that the S14 will have a top six knockout round next year.

That's just a proposal, I don't think it will happen though.

New innovation on my site at this page

You can now rate the players that played in the last match by giving them 1,2,3,4 or 5 stars...

No, you are misunderstanding me. I am not mad because they didn't let the Stormers score 4 tries. I am mad because they went out there and it seemed like that was their only goal. They did not even try and win. They had a chance at the end to try for a bonus point and just kicked it out. You could see on their faces that they were happy that they had not let the stormers score 4 tries. Happy with a loss. Come on. The week before they at least tried to beat the Chiefs (and did it).

I'm starting to give up on the lions. They have again proven even against another SA side that they are worthless. I'm not even going to support them in the Currie Cup, because the currie cup is a worthless competition compared to the NPC of NZ. Now that's rugby.
Rather watch the NPC instead.

Coaches Column - 30 June

Monday, 30 June 2008
The Coaches Column was put into place so I can speak to the public directly, and tell them what is going on in the camp – in good times and in bad times. This is not a forum that I use to talk bull to people or to look for excuses as to why the team is not performing.


The team played well this weekend, but yet again, they did not finish scoring opportunities. This is totally frustrating for me because we work hard to get into a striking zone, then you have individuals who don’t break the game or cease the moment.



Clearly it is the same players that aren’t putting up their hands and making basic mistakes that are costing us games.



We could have won this one easily because I felt that we had Free State in the scrums and the lineouts. We lost two critical lineouts in the 72nd and 75th minutes and a very interesting call from the referee giving us advantage before ending the game.



However, the team is better than that and I’m at the stage of having a no tolerance attitude. We have to change the sails of this ship and we have to change the course of our destiny this Friday against the Valke.



I still believe in the core of our team and I do still believe we are going to be in the play offs in this years’ Absa Currie Cup and I still believe that we can win the Absa Currie Cup. If I didn’t, I shouldn’t be coaching this side.


I hope to see you all at the Park this Friday evening.

Cheers

Pfft.
He should've had that attitude early in the Super 14 for a start. He's too soft.

I guess the life of a coach is more difficult than what we can imagine.

I'm giving away 4 tickets and a parking ticket to the Lions vs Valke match on my website, go to http://www.transvaal.co.za/competition.asp for details

I would realy like to see the Lions win some key matches. The ability is there but they just cant seem to get into a winning momentum. Just need to win one big match and the season could change. I agree with the coach that a few of the guys need to be dropped.

on a side note...what do you guys suggest as a good site for job searches?

 

[The Cosmos]

i pm'ed you.

Looks like the lions are in second. Interesting.

 

[walterl]

Thanks, yes, we are 2nd on the log, and playing the Sharks in Durban next, if we can win that one our season is looking good!

 

[Gerhardt]

Sorry to say, but the Lions are to blame for not collecting the 4 points in Dbn. The match was there for the taking. Sharks get away again!

 

[The Cosmos]

The Lions are nowhere.....

 

[Gerhardt]

Well done on that win at the new coke tin

 

[walterl]

We need to do a bit better in the 2nd round of the competition, the aim should be to finish in the top 2 to get a home semi

Lions beating the WP and Bulls... Nice.
